What is RIDL?

The Ignatian Retreat in Daily Life (RIDL) is a prayer journey for those who want to live more deeply in relationship with God. Based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the retreat is a time set apart in the midst of everyday life to help participants discern more clearly God's movement in their hearts.

In the tradition of Ignatian spirituality, the retreat focuses on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus through a prayerful encounter with Scripture. The Ignatian principle of "finding God in all things" lies at the heart of the retreat.

Retreat Format

During the course of 30 weeks (late September through April) retreatants live their commitment to God, to themselves, and to their fellow participants by following the steps of this prayer journey. Each retreatant commits to these three activities:

Daily private prayer, which includes Scripture, reflection, and journaling.

Weekly small group meetings in which participants share their prayer experiences with each other. Groups are facilitated by a spiritual guide. Individual 19th annotation retreat experiences are considered upon request.

Twice-monthly individual spiritual direction.
